Ahoj!

All other former ships were scrapped, sold, or sunk prior to 1905

Oh, so YOU are responsible for the Scrap Buy of the century?

http://www.navalism.org/index.php?topic=1341.0

Or at least you had your finger in the pie ...

:)

Either way, you either are due some money, or you should get some BP for the scraping :)
